I'm fairly sure we do. It's called "java-environment". The runtime is  
"java-runtime".

So openjdk provides "java-environment" which it already does.

Eclipse for a long time required actual Sun jre to be built and was  
tested with that. Now that it's being tested with openjdk6, it seems  
like the reasonable time to make the switch to the new dependency. So  
I'm planning to do that this weekend.
